Hi Ginger,
Very nice artwork! Is all of your work done in a combination of hand-drawn or hand-painted images with the help of computer software? Just curious.

Hi Ginger,
Happy to see another digital geek on Jacket Flap. Every time I see your work....it gets stronger and stronger. I really hope we meet soon. Are you going to the New England SCBWI event? I am going to be speaking about digital painting if you can make it.
